Mine does the same ocassionally. I think it is because the locks are getting old and probably require lubricating. It seems to be worse in cold weather. I would suggest taking the door panels off and having a good poke around the locks. People have said to me not to use wd40 but I cannot see why not, I have and have not had any additional problems. You are supposed to lube locks with powdered graphite but who's got that in their toolkit ??

Roops.

Alright Barry boy,

Sorry I don't know.

HELP! I've got an 1989 M3 Cecotto with a very annoying locking problem. Whenever I lock the car either manually or via the alarm nothings happens. All I get is a short buzzing noise from the drivers footwell. I've found whats making the noise (Crash Sensor) and replaced it (£94!!!) but this new sensor doe's exactly the same, just vibrates? Has anyone had this problem before.
